Rita Wilson once told Vanity Fair “I didn’t know what being in love was until I met Tom [Hanks].” They met on the set of “Bosom Buddies” and worked together on the set of the 1985 film “Volunteers” – the one where co-star John Candy is a proud Washington State University graduate. Hanks and Wilson married in 1988 after both ended other relationships, and have two children together. Wilson was a producer for “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” which became the highest-grossing independent film after she helped make the film happen. After Hanks won his second Best Actor Oscar for “Forrest Gump,” he told the millions of people watching, “I’m standing here because the woman I share my life with has taught me and demonstrates to me every day just what love is.”
